Cross Pollinate Tasmania

Cross Pollinate Tasmania is our annual conference, focusing on the exchange of ideas and knowledge.

what is CROSS POLLINATE?

Cross Pollinate is Sprout’s annual conference, which gathers together small-scale farmers and supporters of a resilient and local food system to share ideas, feel connected and learn.

IDEAS FOR HOPE

Ideas For Hope is a two event series with a diverse range of speakers, short theatre-style presentations, videos and panel discussions on a variety of topics that that aims to:

illustrate opportunities for farming businesses to thrive
inspire improved landscape management
enable positive personal outcomes
help communities to thrive
galvanise farmers to collaborate and support each other, which will in turn bolster capacity in the small-scale producer sector.

What do we mean by ideas for hope?

We are conscious of how easy it is to sit behind a desk and pose ideas. However we truly believe we have curated two events with the right speakers and topics to demonstrate real ideas for hope to farmers.

Farming is tough. There is no shying away from that. Amidst a year marked by unprecedented challenges for farmers of every scale, Cross Pollinate 2024 will redefine perspectives, encourage bold thinking beyond conventional boundaries, and, above all, instil a renewed sense of hope.

We have two events for Cross Pollinate 2024. Each is designed to be a standalone event and features a different line up of speakers. If you only make one event then fantastic, but if you make two then you get double the ideas and double the inspiration!
